This book, developed by Bússola Tech in partnership with the Organization of American States (OAS), the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), and the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil), is the culmination of collaboration among parliamentary staff, academics, and AI experts. Their collective insights guide an exploration of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can significantly enhance parliamentary services.
It provides a comprehensive look at AI applications in legislative drafting, procedural guidance, historical archiving, and citizen engagement, supported by real-world case studies illustrating practical implementations. The publication emphasizes critical considerations such as ethical deployment, data integrity, and transparent communication to ensure AI enhances parliamentary work without compromising core democratic values.
The book also addresses the complexities of integrating AI into parliamentary procedures, stressing the need for human oversight, cross-institutional cooperation, and robust staff training to maximize AI’s benefits. Through careful and ethical implementation, parliaments can leverage AI to strengthen their services, inclusivity, and public trust, fostering democratic governance in the digital age.
